St. Pius V Catholic Church September 13, 2015

First Reading Is 50:5-9a The Lord GOD opens my ear that I may hear; and I have not rebelled, have not turned back. I gave my back to those who beat me, my

cheeks to those who plucked my beard; my face I did not shield from buffets and spitting.

The Lord GOD is my help, therefore I am not disgraced; I have set my face like flint, knowing that I shall not be put to shame. He is

near who upholds my right; if anyone wishes to oppose me, let us appear together. Who disputes my right? Let that man confront me.

See, the Lord GOD is my help; who will prove me wrong?

Responsorial Psalm Ps 116 R. I will walk before the Lord, in the land of the living.

Second Reading Jas 2:14-18

What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or

sister has nothing to wear and has no food for the day, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well, ” but you

do not give them the necessities of the body, what good is it? So also faith of itself, if it does not have works, is dead. Indeed someone

might say, “You have faith and I have works.” Demonstrate your faith to me without works, and I will demonstrate my faith to you

from my works.

Gospel Mk 8:27-35

Jesus and his disciples set out for the villages of Caesarea Philippi. Along the way he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I

am?” They said in reply, “John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others one of the prophets.” And he asked them, “But who do you say

that I am?” Peter said to him in reply, “You are the Christ.” Then he warned them not to tell anyone about him.

He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be

killed, and rise after three days. He spoke this openly. Then Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. At this he turned around

and, looking at his disciples, rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings

do.” He summoned the crowd with his disciples and said to them, “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his

cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and that of the gospel will save it.”

Primera lectura Is 50, 5-9 En aquel entonces, dijo Isaías: “El Señor Dios me ha hecho oír sus palabras y yo no he opuesto resistencia, ni me he echado para atrás.

Ofrecí la espalda a los que me golpeaban, la mejilla a los que me tiraban de la barba. No aparté mi rostro de los insultos y salivazos.

Pero el Señor me ayuda, por eso no quedaré confundido, por eso endurecí mi rostro como roca y sé que no quedaré avergonzado.

Cercano está de mí el que me hace justicia, ¿quién luchará contra mí? ¿Quién es mi adversario? ¿Quién me acusa? Que se me enfrente.

El Señor es mi ayuda, ¿quién se atreverá a condenarme?”

Salmo Responsorial Salmo 114 R. Caminaré en la presencia del Señor.

Segunda lectura Sant 2, 14-18

Hermanos míos: ¿De qué le sirve a uno decir que tiene fe, si no lo demuestra con obras? ¿Acaso podrá salvarlo esa fe? Supongamos

que algún hermano o hermana carece de ropa y del alimento necesario para el día, y que uno de ustedes le dice: “Que te vaya bien;

abrígate y come”, pero no le da lo necesario para el cuerpo, ¿de qué le sirve que le digan eso? Así pasa con la fe; si no se traduce en

obras, está completamente muerta. Quizá alguien podría decir: “Tú tienes fe y yo tengo obras. A ver cómo, sin obras, me demuestras

tu fe; yo, en cambio, con mis obras te demostraré mi fe”.

Evangelio Mc 8, 27-35

En aquel tiempo, Jesús y sus discípulos se dirigieron a los poblados de Cesarea de Filipo. Por el camino les hizo esta pregunta: “¿Quién

dice la gente que soy yo?” Ellos le contestaron: “Algunos dicen que eres Juan el Bautista; otros, que Elías; y otros, que alguno de los

profetas”. Entonces él les preguntó: “Y ustedes ¿quién dicen que soy yo?” Pedro le respondió: “Tú eres el Mesías”. Y él les ordenó

que no se lo dijeran a nadie.

Luego se puso a explicarles que era necesario que el Hijo del hombre padeciera mucho, que fuera rechazado por los ancianos, los

sumos sacerdotes y los escribas, que fuera entregado a la muerte y resucitara al tercer día. Todo esto lo dijo con entera claridad.

Entonces Pedro se lo llevó aparte y trataba de disuadirlo. Jesús se volvió, y mirando a sus discípulos, reprendió a Pedro con estas

palabras: “¡Apártate de mí, Satanás! Porque tú no juzgas según Dios, sino según los hombres”.

Después llamó a la multitud y a sus discípulos, y les dijo: “El que quiera venir conmigo, que renuncie a sí mismo, que cargue con

su cruz y que me siga. Pues el que quiera salvar su vida, la perderá; pero el que pierda su vida por mí y por el Evangelio, la salvará”.

St. Pius V Catholic Church September 13, 2015

24th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear friends,

Last week, on Labor Day Weekend, many of you heard me speak about how we are called to be Laborers in the Vineyard of the Lord.

We need many hands, hearts, and minds to bring this particular vineyard here at St. Pius V to fruit. As the Master said to those he

found idling in the marketplace, “Don’t just stand there…do something!” (Not an exact translation from the Greek.)

Some things you might do:

* We need Ushers at all masses who are willing to attend training and commit to a schedule of ministry. We need men and women,

old and young, in this vital ministry of hospitality.

* We need Ministers of the Eucharist who would like to be trained and assume the ministry of Sacristan.

* We are relocating the Bookstore to the old Baptistery in the rear of the Church and need help with getting it set-up (on September

26) and with running it after Mass.

* We need help in renovating the Bookstore space so that we can rededicate it as a worship space for Mass and Adoration.

* We need help with a mid-Winter festival in connection with the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe and with our Spring Festival in

honor of St. Pius V.

* We need help in creating and expanding our plazas at the Church and at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

* We need catechists and classroom assistants in Faith Formation.

* We need receptionists and office help both in the Parish Office and in Faith Formation.

* We need musicians and singers and those who have an interest in media presentations to help us offer worship more fittingly to God

at Mass.

* We need Social Ministers to help us deliver food, services, and welcome to those who are in need.

* We need your labor, time and talents in in almost every area of parish life. Do you have some special gift? We can use it!

Go on-line to the parish webpage and follow the link for Ministry or Volunteers or call the parish office and ask that someone call you

with more information about Ministry and Volunteering.

In the love of Christ,

Fr. Joe

Queridos amigos,

El fin de semana pasado, del Día del Trabajo, muchos de ustedes me escucharon hablar acerca de cómo estamos llamados a ser obreros

del viñedo del Señor. Necesitamos muchas manos, corazones y mentes para que este viñedo particular, aquí en San Pío V, de fruta. Al

igual que el Maestro dijo cuándo el encontró a los desocupados en el mercado, "No se queden ahí parados... hagan algo!" (No es una

traducción exacta del griego.)

Algunas cosas que usted puede hacer:

• Necesitamos acomodadores en todas las misas que están dispuestos a asistir a la capacitación y comprometerse a un calendario de

ministerio. Necesitamos hombres y mujeres, viejos y jóvenes, en este ministerio vital de la hospitalidad.

• Necesitamos Ministros de la Eucaristía que quieran capacitarse y asumir el ministerio de Sacristán.

• Estamos reubicando la Librería en el antiguo baptisterio en la parte trasera de la Iglesia y necesitamos ayuda con la reubicación (el

26 de septiembre) y con el funcionamiento después de la misa.

• Necesitamos ayuda en la renovación del espacio de la Librería para que podamos dedicarlo de nuevo como un espacio de culto para

la Misa y Adoración.

• Necesitamos ayuda con un festival que tendremos el día de la Fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe y con nuestra Fiesta de la Pri

mavera en honor de San Pío V.

• Necesitamos ayuda en la creación y expansión de nuestras plazas afuera de la Iglesia y alrededor del Santuario de Nuestra Señora de

Guadalupe.

• Necesitamos catequistas y asistentes de aula de Formación de Fe.

• Necesitamos recepcionistas y ayudantes de oficina, tanto en la oficina parroquial y en la oficina de Formación de Fe.

• Necesitamos músicos y cantantes y los que tienen un interés en las presentaciones de los medios para ayudarnos a ofrecer el culto más

adecuadamente a Dios en la Misa.

• Necesitamos Ministros Sociales para ayudarnos a entregar alimentos, servicios, y dar la bienvenida a aquellos que están en necesidad.

• Necesitamos su trabajo, tiempo y talento en casi todas las áreas de la vida parroquial. ¿Tiene algún regalo especial? ¡Podemos usarlo!

Por favor, Vaya a la página web de la parroquia y siga el enlace para ministerios o voluntarios o llame a la oficina parroquial para pedir

que alguien te llama con más información sobre los Ministerios y el Voluntariado.

En el amor de Cristo,

Padre Joe

AGING MINISTRY INTEREST Attention Seniors- Your wisdom, experience, and help

is needed !!! — You may have heard that there is an

Aging Ministry being formed at St Pius V. One of the

first steps is to find out who is interested in

participating in fun programs, including regular social

events. Additionally, we would like to reach out to our

seniors who may wish to be socially connected with

the parish, and may be home-bound, living in nursing

homes or assisted living facilities, or need

transportation.

If you wish to be a part of this ministry, whether

attending events or helping with planning and having

fun social events, please let the parish know. You can

call the parish office and leave your name, phone

number, and email address (if you have email). You

can also fill out a form (gold colored located in the

back of the church). Please fill it out and place it in the

collection basket, or whatever is easiest for you, such

as personally drop it off or mail it to the church office.

Someone will be contacting you with further

information. Thanks,

Bob Wood, Aging Ministry Volunteer Coordinator
